Historical overview

The period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. Given it exists on Polish maps from the 1930s, it can be inferred it already existed in the early 20th century. The cemetery was since demolished. Today, no visible traces of the cemetery remain.

There is no information available about the Jewish community of Tsyr.
